“I couldn’t, I caint, I didn’t...” 🙌🏾

[@Bindi_Marc]

so funny as i watched this, i thought of you and how you were looking for a good parting video.

[@TayLaDawn]

Sure didn't! Lol. It was just team too much!

[@jayrich72]

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TYPE THIS LMAO

[@kimmiecooks]

I love your consistency. Your meticulousness. Your thoroughness. You show us every step and even go back to show us how you corrected the parts you weren’t happy with from the last video. Omgggggg! You are me. You are what I need from a KZbinr. Specifically a hair KZbinr. My goodness. My goodness. A plus. I can’t stop watching your videos. I am doing my own micro locs install soon and after weeks of research, I am so glad I ended up here!!!! I thank God for direction. And I thank God for your videos. A plus! Thank you!

[@Coopogers]

Such a wonderful comment... I agree. I'm studying her work for my locs. She's so thorough! 🙌🏾💕

[@Isthatjaleesa]

This comment is exactly how I feel, love how you wrote it! Thank you so much for these videos because I’m also doing my research and this is HELPFUL!

[@RobinNatural1]

I absolutely agree!! Amazing and meticulous work.

[@TheTthunt01]

You said, you started a 0900 and the current time is 1300, I said yep she military. Thank you for the encouragement! I had microlocs for 6 months and took them down because my parting bothered me. I’m going to use what you and queenEleem put out. Thanks again. So beautiful, and great detail.

[@zasharadouglas770]

I thought the same thing.

[@Eyesis_1]

"....I couldn't. I can't. I didn't...." I 💖 it. Yes, you have to make it work your way.

[@latifaboykins1995]

I've been natural for 2yrs and I'm over doing my hair. Thanks for the tips I'm about to try my luck and install my microlocs

[@sharonwilliamson1798]

It took me a while to understand what you were talking about scalp and 4/16 and I've now worked it, third time locking my hair so glad I came across your video before I started. In listening to your video your the most indepth one on how to do it properly step by step.Thank you.

[@robincoleman7217]

I would love to have "sisterlocs/microlocs" but don't want to pay the price for them and I don't have the patience to do them myself so I commend you on your patience and girl you really did a good job. I would have given up on the grid. Good luck on your journey.

[@TripOGi100]

I couldn't. I can't. I didn't. 😭😭 I plan to say this several times as I do mine for my bday in Feb. Been relaxed as long as I can remember.

[@1dyrfullymade]

“I couldn’t, I can’t, I didn’t.” 😆 you should put that on a T-shirt! 😂

[@deejathediva3153]

They look great !! If i had to do mine over again i would've kept my micro locs and i would've started them off with braidlocs instead of micro twist

[@TayLaDawn]

Why is that?

[@deejathediva3153]

@@TayLaDawn because i had got 3 different cancers within a two year period. The worst being double breast cancer and the surgeries and treatments were not kind to my hair. I lost 49 locs all together and i combined my micro twist locs thinking it would strengthen my hair . but alk it did was add weight to already chemo damaged struggling strands. I cut ALOT of damage off and where i lost locs is steadily growing but i just wish i had not panicked and stuck with my original plan and my hair would be thriving more than they are.i started with 385 locs to now having 70

[@myhearts419]

[@desireecleveland5664]

I absolutely love your videos on the micro locs. Thank you so much

[@mimikamanda4346]

Aaah we have the same installation date and hair density and length! I am definitely subscribing... Looking forward to following you on your journey

[@TayLaDawn]

Yayyy Loc Twins!!! 🤗

[@mimikamanda4346]

[@Rurh-p3l]

Great details but I missed seeing you do the interlocking-your journey was honest and encouraging🖐🏽💚

[@TayLaDawn]

Please check out my retie video if you haven't already 😊

[@HairstylesbyCarol]

wow the interlock is crazy, I started out trying that method but I went back to two strand twist with extensions starting at the root. looking good girl.

[@Alwonza]

I just started my journey April 28, 2020. We are a few days apart. I’m so happy I found you. 🤗🤗🤗🤗braid that hair and keep it moving. I love it.

[@backroom844gamer]

theyre so damn neat.

[@simplykatricia3479]

Nape? You finished the kitchen area girl. 🤣

[@TayLaDawn]

Lmao!!!

[@mydisciplecoach]

Can you do a video on how you parted your boxes before you inter-loc them. Did you pre part each square? Did you part 4 rows slanted or top to bottom? Can you give us the detail on how you parted the square for inter-locking?

[@loraynestreatsnthangz5212]

I wanted to see you give an example of the interlock .

[@Bindi_Marc]

so when are you going into business? great job!

[@TayLaDawn]

Girllllll....Lol. But thank you so much!

[@sylviasmith8192]

I’m really enjoying what you're doing and saying. Good job.

[@msplbaker]

Hi! Your locs are absolutely beautiful! I've watched all the install & update vids, because we have the exact same texture and density. I'm about to start my install tomorrow. Can you please tell me what size you ended up going with? You started with 5/16, but said it was too little, but didn't mention it again in the next vid, if you stayed with that size or went larger. Thanks in advance!

[@diahannthomas7114]

How do you determine how small to part them. Thank you for being so thorough. You're my one stop shop.

[@TayLaDawn]

It was based on my preference and the size I needed them to be to maintain them myself for a while.

[@mydisciplecoach]

Beautiful!! How many locs do you have on your head?

[@trudypops]

I don't know if I missed it, but how are you installing the upper sections. Did you start off with braiding then twisting to the end? Or then braiding the end to keep it together so it does not go loose. Or were you twisting from top to bottom? I'm watching videos and I'm seeing people twisting from top to bottom and then interlocking and I'm like how does it stay together if you're interlocking after doing the twist

[@huniebon]

Your grid is nice!!!!

[@1dyrfullymade]

Love the dedication!

[@DestinySunshine]

Love it! Good luck on your journey 🤗

[@TayLaDawn]

Thank you so much!!!

[@peacebeteal]

Omg I can’t waaaaaait!

I'm your 1000th subscriber 🎊🎉. You did a great job on this install.

[@TayLaDawn]

YOU ARE THE BOMB💣!!! Thank you so much!💜

[@ThickNCurly1]

I love your hair color, what color and brand is it💙

[@Toyko.Thee.Stallion]

I did mine after combing out my 3 year locs 😬😮 baaaaaaby that week KILLED ME and THEN I had the audacity to put some micro twists in my hard for a protective style until I have my baby (6/20/24) I will NEVER do this again lol these braid locs almost took me out

[@Toyko.Thee.Stallion]

Head *

[@TayLaDawn]

Girl! It only took you a week to take them down? It probably would've took me much longer 😫 Congratulations on your baby! 🥳🤗

[@Toyko.Thee.Stallion]

@@TayLaDawn yes ma’am!!! I was like okaaaaaay inches then had to cut all that hair off!!! 😞😞😞. But I restarted with the micro braid locs and I’m happy with the change. Thank youuuuuu 💙☺️

[@adenas39]

OUTSTANDING!!!😊😃😀

[@LalahStarr]

You're doing a great job! I have my sections parted and ready to start. I have a question though...does it really matter where you enter as long as you are going clockwise?

[@TayLaDawn]

Thank you! Have you started yet? And to me it matters how you end being that your loc will lay in that direction. Hope that helps.

[@LalahStarr]

@@TayLaDawn Yes I have started..just trying to come up with a better setup to complete the back lol. I was able to sit down and do the front. Thanks alot!

[@freshgoalstv4999]

Thank you for enlightened me. I am about to start my microlocs. Please how many locs do you have altogether?

[@lisaliyalana07]

off topic question...how do you keep your nose ring while in the military

[@TayLaDawn]

I take the ring out while in uniform.

[@jazziegurlt22]

Hey Queen, I loved your grid vid. Did you end up showing how you installed the loc itself 🤔?

[@motherknowsbestrr190]

That’s what I’m waiting on

[@melissas.5814]

Its in the Day 3 and 4 video where she shows the install of one of the locs in the back.

[@keffiwielingen7319]

Hey hey I'm prepping to do them too, have you solely braided and interlocked? I am thinking of 2 strand length method

[@TayLaDawn]

Yep pretty much! The majority are interlocked with the exception of my nape. A lot of Ladies start with 2 strand twists.

[@ashleypearl2751]

Do u have a video of ur hand work? I was thinking about starting mine off as braids and ending in twists, but what was it u were doing with it at the computer with no tools?

[@TayLaDawn]

I was interlocking my hair with no tools at first, and then I used the tool to get closer to my scalp. On one of my install videos, I do show a closer look.

[@ShondaD_]

Question, what’s the reason why people keep count of their locs? I mean does it matter or is it just preference?

[@TayLaDawn]

It's just preference.

[@rokitgurl]

Well what coffee is it 👀😭

[@TayLaDawn]

Lol, it was Dunkin Donuts coffee with hazelnut syrup!

[@Rurh-p3l]

Please share the name of the book you showed on the early video showing the grid. Thank you

You’re incredible how are you can sit on the bathroom counter and part your hair so straight and re-lock your locks (you’re the best I’ve seen) You go girl.... DIY ... That’s my new logo Btw Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous !!!
